Hi
New this forum. I have a project im working on for a client, and as always, budgets are tight, (Are'nt they always).
Can anyone let me know if the Apple Mac Mini is suitable for running Modul8? We are not looking at doing any heavy effects processing, it just basically being used as a video server playout system, using Syphon into Mad Mapper, and then out on 1 DVI to a LED video panel wall.
From what I have read, I can use the HDMI output on the Mac to run the desktop screen, and then by using an Apple Dual Link DVI converter, output the main screen to my wall from this.
I was looking at the mid spec'd Mac Mini on there website which has the following spec:
2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
4GB memory
1TB hard drive1
Intel HD Graphics 4000
OS X Mountain Lion
But my boss wants to know if we can save money by going with the lower spec'd machine which is as follows:
2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
4GB memory
500GB hard drive1
Intel HD Graphics 4000
OS X Mountain Lion
My question is: Will Modul8 run ok in the set-up I have outlined above? And would it run ok on the lower spec'd machine from Apple?
Thanks in advance for the replies
